Walesa wins by landslide in Poland, exit polls show
The Associated Press
WARSAW, Poland — Lech Walesa, the shipyard worker who helped lead his country out of Communism, swept to a landside victory in Poland's first presidential vote yesterday, according to exit polls.
Tymalski defeated emigre businessman Stanislaw Tymalski, a virtual unknown before the campaign, by a margin of 77 percent to 23 percent, according to the polling station at 303 representative polling stations nationwide.
"There are terribly difficult tasks waiting for us," a smiling but serious Walesa said as he sailed champagne behind the television cameras and in Gdansk, where his Solidarity movement began.
"I hope that we will be building Poland's future together. I want to be behave firmly, I want to firmly correct everything that is wrong and make firm decisions about everything that has not been accounted for yet."
Tyminski declined to concede defeat immediately, saying he did not trust the polls. He said he had no interest in losing.
Outgoing President Wojciech Jaruzelski, who sent Walena to iail under martial law nine years
ago, sent his congratulations.
Turnout was estimated at 55 percent, according to the survey conducted by the German Infosaz for the European Union.
Full official results were expected late today, but the exit polls have proven accurate to within 2 percent.
The first actual results, from 165 of the country's more than 22,000 polling stations, showed 74.7 percent for Walesa and 25.3 percent for Tyminski, the television reported.
The Solidarity leader and 1863 Nobel Peace Prize laureate had asked voters to give him a broad mandate to lead the country to a market economy and a European-style democracy.
The polls showed that he did well among all
the polls. He had the 40 percent he got in the first round of November.
Tyminski, who performed well in the first round, appeared to have been damaged by numerous questions raised about him at the end of the campaign.
"I'm surprised, but I won't make any comments at the moment," Tyminski told reporters after inspecting the returns stored at his home voting district in Pecice, outside Warsaw.
Soviet protesters mourn deaths

Rally marks human rights day, demands Gorbachev's resignation
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Religious chants echoed off the walls of KGB headquarters yesterday as thousands of human rights demonstrators prayed and wept at a nearby monument to the victims of Soviet repression.
Led by three Russian Orthodox priests bearing icons, almost 4,000 marches carried wreaths, placards denouncing Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, and photographs of human rights activist Andrei Sakharov, who died one year ago this week.
The protesters came from near Red Square where they had rallied to mark today's International Human Rights Day. They shouted repeatedly for Gorbachev to resign and heard radical politicians deride him as, "His Majesty, Mihail the Bloody."
The five-hour demonstration reached a more somber climax across the street from the Lubyanka, the secret police headquarters and former prison, where a monument has been
erected to the millions of innocent people who perished under Communist rule.
More than 10 million people are thought to have died from starvation, cold, hard labor or execution.
The choir's requiem, amplified through megaphones, reverberated off the pink, gray and yellow walls of the apartment.
The monument, hewn from the Solovetsky Islands in the White Sea, the site of a famous labor camp, was dedicated in October.
Lighted candles flickered in the hands of participants, who stood stolically around the flower-stone shrin in 23-degree temperatures as dusk set in. The blooms of doves, which circled Dzehrzhinny Square.
The Rev. Alexei Vlasov, whose branch of the Russian Orthodox Church was formerly forced to operate underground, told the crowd of former leader Joseph Stalin's repression of the clergy.
